Underwater Noise Radiation Due to Transmission through the Cooling Water System of a Marine Diesel Engine

  • Conference paper
Shipboard Acoustics

Abstract

Diesel engines fitted in modern surface ships are nowadays frequently subject to thorough treatment for the control of noise radiated underwater. That treatment increasingly extends beyond the primary measures for controlling structure-borne and airborne noise (double mounting system, acoustic enclosure) to include appropriate treatment of other connections that link diesel and ship, notably the drive shaft and the various pipe runs, each of which constitutes a potential sound bridge for vibrational energy flowing from the diesel to the ship structure and thence into the surrounding sea.
